Difficult steer won’t eat!

[Chickenlover0810]

I have a show steer, and he’s on the skinner side. Another note I went to a cow show this weekend and purchased something called purple power up. It’s supposed to Help him and gain weight. Back to the show steer. I made it as directed and he just ignored it. I tried lots of techniques to him to eat it like separating him and giving him his favorite treat call show fill. Nothing works. Any suggestions to get him to eat it? I am desperate

He is a Hereford steer

how long has it been since he's eaten last?

 

[Chickenlover0810]

Well he has eaten but not the supplement I need him to eat.
He ate last night during chores

 

[hoovesgalore]

at least he's eating can you mix the supplements with water and molasses?

Is he perfectly healthy? Just doesn't want to eat the supplement you bought?

this is gonna sound mean but starve him out a bit ( I only mean that if he is healthy i would deworm him as well if he hasn't been) and if you have pics i would love to see him things like ralgro also help them to gain good

Maybe try putting him on lower protein feed as well I think that's what my friend did when they had this problem
